Not many companies are going to tell you, face-to-face, that they're going to save the world. Not many companies have beer on their side, though. Save the World Brewing Company in Marble Falls, TX certainly does. Armed with beer and brains, they're set to do something special with only a small but soulful team and spiritual dedication to bringing Belgian-style ales to the Texas Hill Country.

Of all the breweries I've shot, Save the World's grand opening was one of the most exuberant. A new-smelling, smudge-free tasting room coupled with small town charm really got the taps pumping when the town came out to give their livers something they normally don't enjoy: science-minded, specialty beer. Save the World sells voodoo by the bottle, and there's enough grace to go around.
